@Todd Powell Normally 1031 exchange happens for the same company.

Our Company sold a small none performing 18 unit apartment building in Cal City last year for under $23,000 per door.  

@J Newman your husband can roll that into a self directed ira and use all the funds for investing and no loan to pay back unless you get financing on the property.  

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

This goes back to doing more due diligence - talk to investors who have properties in those areas and to 5 experienced property management companies (instead of just 3) who will tell you what properties are renting for, potential problems, tenant base, etc

Can anybody recommend a good property management company in Portsmouth ?

The script that worked before doesn't anymore so need to tweak it lolAlso, online lead gen but it's pricey at $3,000 - $5,000pm for the campaign and for a small company like ours that's more than 50% of our revenue 🙈

As far as parking on my property, I was thinking of getting a towing company involved.   

I am a tech professional, but I also own a small Home Improvement company with my father who has been in the industry for 20ish years.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay Hinrichs100% agreeWhat we did was had a third-party company perform a track record verification report.
